I'm trying to design a steel rectangular tank for water. I understand there is a spreadsheet out there on a previous post that is based on a paper by Kanti Mahajan. Does anyone have the spreadsheet??
I've can do some calcs like hydrostatic pressure on the bottom and sides. I can calc the thickness for the tank floor based on this. But I need to do comprehensive calcs to optimize.

Thanks in advance
